Each three-storey home unfolds across almost 200 square metres, linked by a private lift and calibrated for modern life. At the heart, a dramatic double-height living space, where an open-plan layout and steel-framed windows blur the boundaries between inside and out. Light is ever-present, softened by the gentle textures of cement-finished walls and the warm tactility of Microlime Plus flooring.
A sculptural staircase draws the eye upwards to a mezzanine that hovers above the living space—ideal as a reading snug, studio or home office. On the same floor, a generous suite offers privacy and calm.
On the top level, two further en-suite bedrooms are designed for comfort and calm, with the principal suite opening onto a secluded roof terrace — perfect for slow mornings or evenings above the city.

“Alba transforms industrial heritage into refined minimalism, where each home balances volume, texture, and light with understated sophistication. The interplay between expansive steel-framed windows and carefully chosen materials creates interiors that feel both spacious and intimate. Thoughtfully crafted, these homes offer a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living, designed to accommodate modern lifestyles while preserving a quiet sense of calm amidst Marvila’s vibrant creative spirit.”
Throughout, the palette is purposeful and pared back. Custom resin-coated doors. Brushed stainless steel taps. Vitrified washbasins and seamless glass mirrors. Every element chosen with an eye for longevity and ease.
Set in the heart of Marvila — a former industrial hub turned cultural district drawing comparisons to Shoreditch in London or Brooklyn’s Red Hook — Alba feels both connected and quietly removed. Galleries, concept cafés, breweries and studios are all close by, yet these homes offer a sense of calm and space that’s increasingly rare. A place for design-led living, in a part of the city that continues to evolve.
